MK Dons boss Robinson: Dele Alli bossed Man Utd millionaires

MK Dons boss Karl Robinson hailed the performance of Dele Alli after their shock Capital One Cup defeat to Manchester United. Robinson says the teen bossed the United millionaires in midfield.

"I am shocked," the 33-year-old said.

"If I made that many changes I would have had to play some under-16s.

"For the first 15 minutes they dominated us. They were running past us at speeds we have never seen before.

"But once the players got to grips with the game, I felt comfortable.

"Nick Powell is a player they have spent a lot of money on, he is a number of years older. Then you have Anderson and (Shinji) Kagawa, who have obviously been there and done it and a kid of 18 years of age (Dons midfielder Dele Alli) just ran past them.

"It is an evening we will never forget."
